MILDRED — Loren and Regena Lance are ringing in the holidays starting Sunday with an open house for the Mildred community.
“We normally do a Christmas bazaar, but we found out Kincaid was doing something similar this year, so we decided to do this instead,” Regena explained.
The fun kicks off from 10 to 4 Sunday at the Lance’s Mildred Store, with an assortment of meat and cheese trays and charcuterie boards available for sampling.
“We’re calling it a taste-testing party,” she said.
The store’s interior is lavishly decorated with a large tree, lights and other assorted holiday favors.
“A lot of people in Allen County still don’t know we exist,” she said.
Several specialty items also will be on display, from Southwest style hoodies, jackets, beaded purses and custom shirts.
Gifts will be handed out to children while supplies last, and different door prizes will be handed out through the day.
THE FUN DOESN’T end this weekend.
Next Saturday, in place of the Mildred Store’s monthly Third Saturday Music Show, the Lances are hosting a potluck Christmas dinner at 6:30 p.m.
Santa Claus is slated to make a special appearance, before live Christmas music fills the store’s adjoining dance hall.
